Selling Sunset's Chrishell Stause SPLITS from new boyfriend

And there's a LOT of drama to go with it! 😬

Author: Alex RossPublished 1st Mar 2021

If you're a fan of hit Netflix reality show Selling Sunset, you were no doubt over the moon for cast member Chrishell Stause late last year, when she announced she was dating Dancing With The Stars pro Keo Motsepe following the breakdown of her marriage to American actor Justin Hartley.

Series three of Selling Sunset documented Chrishell's divorce, with the reality star left in total shock when she was dumped by the This Is Us actor, but it had looked like The Oppenheim Group employee had found love again.

Just a few weeks after posting a loved-up snap alongside Keo for Valentine's Day, reports landed over the weekend that the pair had split, with a source telling PEOPLE, "Keo is heartbroken. He enjoyed his time with Chrishell and was 100 percent in it.

"He's had a tough time with his mom's passing, but he really wanted to make his relationship with Chrishell last."

HOWEVER, the drama, which would be fit for Selling Sunset series four viewing, all started on Chrishell's Instagram, where she hinted things weren't quite as they seem.

Sharing the quote from PEOPLE to her Instagram Story, Chrishell furiously wrote, 'Ok I TRULY wanted to keep this drama free, but playing the victim and bringing your mom into it is a step too far for me. Taking the high road is overrated sometimes!!

'I was also 100% in it as well, until revelations told to me recently have made me question if you could even order a coffee without lying'. (sic)

The 39-year-old then carried on with her rant, sharing the words 'Liar, Liar: How to break free from habitual lying', as Shakira and Beyoncé's track 'Beautiful Liar' played in the background.

After a number of fans messaged Chrishell accusing her of being 'childish' by publicly speaking about the split, the former DWTS contestant hit back once again.

She wrote, 'Yes I am aware. If I end up alone with cats it was worth it. But I am also human and not a robot. When you are the a-- in the breakup & then the other person tries to let you save face and take the high road publicly... probably best not to poke a bear holding receipts. I will try to be a better person tomorrow. Today wasn't the day'. (sic)

Well... That's that! 😬

In case you were wondering, Chrishell has now DELETED all trace of Keo from her Instagram grid, and by the sounds of her comments, it looks like it's all over for these two!

She does still feature on Keo's though....

Fans of Selling Sunset will be hoping the drama between these two plays out on the hugely-anticipated series four, which is reportedly due to land later in the year according to cast member Mary Fitzgerald.

As well as Chrishell's latest split, fans will be keen to find out more about Heather Young's engagement and Christine Quinn's pregnancy!

Check out these Selling Sunset facts you probably didn't know:

1. The Oppenheim Group actually has 17 agents

Although Mary, Chrishell, Davina, Maya, Heather, Emma, Nicole, Bre, Amanza and Chelsea all feature as real estate agents on the show, there's actually four other agents at the business - these are Peter Cornell, Alice Kwan, Omar Abaza, Alexander Huerta, Romi Jordan Mouillon, Kane Lim, and Minoo Malek.

2. Romain used to be a pastry chef

French model Romain Bonnett, who married Mary Fitzgerald on season 2 of Selling Sunset, actually used to work as a pastry chef!


Back in 2019, he wrote on Instagram: 'Since so many asked me if it was true that I was a pastry chef, here is some of the pasty I used to make. YES IT WAS TRUE !!! 😜😬'. (sic)

3. Selling Sunset is created by the same man who created The Hills

Yes, that's right! The Hills producer Adam DiVello is the creator of Selling Sunset - that guy certainly knows how to make great TV!

4. Jason once had Orlando Bloom's house on his books

The Oppenheim Group's President Jason Oppenheim has worked with some major stars over the years! Not only has he sold houses for the likes of Alex Rodriguez and Lea Black, he was also selling Orlando Bloom's house!


He told us in 2019: "My favourite guy that I worked with is Orlando Bloom. But that's why I'm selling his house right now because he's going to be a dad. So families and marriages are good for real estate."

5. Mary has a son called Austin Babbitt

Selling Sunset fans met Mary Fitzgerald's son during season 2 of the show in 2020, when Austin walked his mum down the aisle for her wedding to Romain.

6. Chrishell was once engaged to Matthew Morrison

Before marrying (and then divorcing) American actor Justin Hartley, Chrishell Stause was once engaged to Glee star Matthew Morrison.


The couple first met way back in 2006, with a proposal coming just months later. However, things didn't work out and the pair called time on their romance in December 2007.

7. Heather is now married with a baby

After announcing her new romance with Tarek El Moussa during season 2 of Selling Sunset, just weeks before season 3 hit Netflix, Heather Young announced Tarek had popped the question to her!


In October 2021, the pair tied the knot at a luxury ceremony surrounded by their friends and family, including Heather's Selling Sunset co-stars, with footage being shown in series 5.


Heather and Tarek then welcomed a baby boy called Tristan in January 2023. Unfortunately for fans, Heather announced she wouldn't be returning to the show after series seven. She's actually now got her own series alongside Tarek, called The Flipping El Moussas.

8. Christine didn't meet her ex-husband by selling him a house

Although season 2 of Selling Sunset seemed to document that Christine Quinn met her now ex-husband Christian Richard whilst selling him a house, it turns out the pair actually met through mutual friends.


During an interview on This Morning with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, she said: "Well actually, that was amped up a little, I'm not going to lie. I actually met him through a girlfriend of mine, but Mary spun this story that he was a client. We were dating for three months and then we bought a house together, but television is fun."

Christine filed for a divorce from Christian in April 2024.

9. Chrishell wasn't part of The Oppenheim Group before Selling Sunset

She's a valued member of the team now, but Chrishell Stause actually only joined the real estate agency when she was signed to appear on the show.


Selling Sunset creator Adam DiVello said at the time: "She really is a realtor and has a real estate license selling homes when we met her. I think we were lucky to get her, I think she adds something that is very unique to Los Angeles, and we're doing a show about realtors in Los Angeles. The fact that we have one who's an actress and happens to be married to an actor who's on a very successful TV series is a plus."

10. Mary actually sold a house on her wedding day

As viewers witnessed in season 2, Mary Fitzgerald doesn't stop work for anything... Even her own wedding!


Whilst getting her hair and make-up applied on her big day, Mary took time out to show round a buyer of the stunning house she was using for her venue.


She later told People magazine: "I end up selling my wedding venue on my wedding day, which was amazing. I paused the wedding and sold it in the middle of getting ready. Everyone thought I was out of my mind, but I told the seller when he allowed me to book it for the wedding venue that I won't let the wedding planning or doing it there get in the way of selling it!"

11. The Oppenheim Group now have a Newport Beach office and it's got a spin-off show

At the start of January 2021, Jason Oppenheim confirmed the group have now opened a office in Newport Beach.


In a post on Instagram, he said: 'I'm very proud and excited to announce our new Oppenheim Group office in Newport Beach!! After many years of contemplation, my love for Newport Beach and its exciting real estate opportunities have convinced me to go for it! And if you're going to go, go big, so I found a 4,000 sq. ft. former bank and we are renovating it now - it's going to be the coolest office anywhere, with a full bar, living room, dining area, arcade, pool table, gym, showers, kitchen, vault with whiskey/wine, coffee bar, walls of contemporary art, books, and vintage boom boxes, and who knows, maybe even some desks! Give me a few weeks and I'll post the interior photos 😀'.


It was then confirmed in November 2021 that Selling Sunset will be getting a spin-off show for the new office, called Selling The O.C. - this then aired in August 2022, with a number of series to date.


Other spin-off shows including Selling Tampa.

12. Emma Hernan once qualified for the Olympics

In series 5, Emma casually dropped the fact she'd once swam a time that would have qualified her for the Olympics! However, she gave up swimming when she was 16 to focus on modelling.

13. The cast pay for their own hair, makeup and wardrobe

You've probably noticed the Selling Sunset girls always look absolutely flawless, dripped head-to-toe in designer gear, but Netflix don't actually pay for any of this!

14. Chrishell Stause and Christine Quinn used to be friends

Despite their now on-going feud, Chrishell Stause and Christine Quinn actually used to be friends - this was until producers pitted them against each other.


Christine once said: "They wanted us to clash obviously and at first, we didn't. We got along great. We were friends. She was at my house. We were drinking, having a good time. I was getting to know her and the storylines came into play. We thought that we were good at separating things."
